There are several ways to grow in wisdom, and there are even different kinds of wisdom. However, the best way to get wisdom in our lives is to ask God, to read His Word, and to begin applying it to our lives. God is the best teacher! Not only does He know all things, but He knows how to speak to each of us in a way that we can understand. There are different words used in the Bible for wisdom.
